Leeds United
Saturday’s football game at Deepdale pits together Preston and Leeds United, the two teams who defeated Cardiff City and Middlesbrough respectively in their last league games. The Lilywhites aim to revive their playoffs hopes, but they will have a mountain to climb against the automatic promotion hopefuls. Ched Evans continues to miss out with injury, while Montenegro forward Milutin Osmajic is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph.
The Whites, on the other hand, aim to overtake Sheffield United in top position. Leeds United looked sharp in the 3-1 win over Middlesbrough. and seeing that Preston are averaging just goal per game at home this season, backing the over 2.5 goals market could prove a smart choice. The likes of Junior Firpo, Ilia Gruev, and Joe Gelhardt should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
